Visual Fields Screening Test

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

The Visual Fields Screening Test is administered separately to each eye starting with the left. Options are presented that allow you to skip either eye. The patient is directed to stare intently at a series of 1 digit numbers being continuously displayed at the center of the screen. Then the patient simply clicks the mouse button immediately, every time he/she detects that a small white spot is being displayed somewhere on the screen. A response by the patient is added to the data pool only if the patient is able to correctly identify the last number that was displayed at the center of the screen at the time he/she clicked the mouse button. The program produces a visual field map, for each eye tested, based upon the patient’s reaction times. To save the map the clinician must click on a Print button to have the map printed.

Welcome!

Welcome to our NeuroPsychOnline Weblog! We have decided that this may be the best way to provide you vital information about NeuroPsychOnline (NPO) and keep you up to date with what we are doing with the system. As we are new to the blog world you may see changes on a daily basis as we learn more about working within this environment. The information will be archived automatically and will be searchable. Over time we should accumulate a helpful compendium of information for your use. In addition, there will be numerous feedback opportunities included that will be invaluable to our further development.
We will also be including a blog on our patient subscriber interfaces, in a newsletter format, that will be directed toward making the patient’s experience with our therapy system more comfortable and more rewarding for them..
